In Today's technological world images play a vital role. With the tremendous growth of digital media, protecting and transferring of images has become progressively important. With the usage of images everywhere, there arise the storage and network issues during transfer of data. To overcome this disadvantage a concept called Compression is introduced where the redundant data is eliminated. In this paper we discuss about compression, need for compression, types of compression, different types of compression techniques that are used and the new method we are going to use. This study introduces a hybrid framework that combines image compression, watermarking and hexadecimal conversion to protect data. This method not only verifies the authenticity but also prevents tampering or unauthenticated or unauthorized access. The proposed method establishes equilibrium between compression efficiency and data security, making it experimental for real world applications.
